Paul Wong-Gibbs
Our Engineering Director, with the responsibility to define and delivery our technical roadmap, product vision, and strategy for scalability.
Paul leads our engineering team
With significant experience in delivering enterprise-scale WordPress for international banks, newspapers, and magazine publishers, Paul has a keen interest in understanding projects holistically, improving processes by how things are built, and helping colleagues achieve success.
Paul has also made substantial open-source contributions to projects like BuddyPress, Achievements, and WordHat (a Behat extension for WordPress).
Brought up on a diet of digestive biscuits, crumpets, and tea, Paul likes spending his spare time exploring side project ideas that don’t end up going anywhere, playing video and board games, and eating ramen. Away from the screen, he enjoys reading, gardening, and dreams fondly of luxury travel.
Say hello via email, or on LinkedIn, on Twitter, and on Github.
